It's exactly what I needed. Plenty of room for storing shoes (thanks to it having a divider for each drawer), but also can hold heels or boots when you remove the divider. And it has a drawer so I can hold my keys, wallet, sunglasses, lighter, Chapstick, etc. It's not deep either so it fits in most areas nicely. The build is good. Putting it together is fine, especially if this isn't your first piece of furniture construction. I got the white, and it keeps a nice minimal feel to my apartment. Big fan - exactly what I wanted. I didn't secure mine to the wall, but if you have pets or kids, that is recommended and I see why.
